1. The Mappings: Whether it’s rolled via XML, attributes, or some fluent API, it’s something you as a developer have to maintain, so even if you let the conceptual object-model drive the design of your database, you are implicitly DDL through the mappings. 2.

Use StructureMap and Castle DynamicProxy to easily change the semantics of your code
In this posting my intentions are to show you how to use Inversion of Control (IoC), with the help of StructureMap, for being able to easily switch the semantics of e.g entities in a model with the change of a few lines in the StructureMap configuration. I will use it to go from plain classes … Continue reading »
The Moq, mockingframework, and the tangling of Stubs and Mocks
When I need the powers of a Faking-framework I use the Moq-framework, which I use when I feel that it is to much work for creating a manual Fake (which I only do with stubs). There’s one thing that I really don’t like with Moq, the tangling of Mocks and Stubs. I like to see … Continue reading »

I have made two small technical changes and with these small changes I have gained a more decoupled code. Change One Instead of having a … Continue reading »

I know that there allready are implementations for NHibernate-based repositories (eg. RhinoTools) but I can’t help to fiddling a bit with a design that I feel comfortable with. When building business applications I like to use a domain model (Read more – Martin Fowler) and to use repositories (Read more – Martin Fowler) for storing … Continue reading »
Does code have to be Localized for achieving a “Ubiquitous Language”?
Recently I have encountered C# code containing names found in the business that the applications maps to. So far so good except that the names of objects, methods, properties, functions etc. were written in Swedish and of course with special characters like “Å, Ä, Ö” My question is “Does code has to be localized for … Continue reading »
